I will never regret having kids and staying home with them when they were young. Best part of my life.
Best part of their life too. You gave them a great start.
Your kids are very lucky to have you. I hope I’ll be able to do the same
My mother gave that to me growing up and my dad when he worked at home for a long while when I was really little. I want that for my kids, I want to stay home with them when they are young
my wife and i are childfree, but i'm so happy i chose a simple life with a simple, boring job.
social media tells us if we aren't rich or talented or the best, then we are "lazy" and "weak" and a "loser." well, f**k that!
the older i get, the less i care what other people think. there is nothing uniquely special about me and my wife, but we love our simple living.
we volunteer in our town twice a week, and go to the mid-sized city we're close to every weekend, and spend time with one of our neighbors three times a week.
we love it!
They need you the most when they're young. I put my cpa certification on hold because I wanted to stay at home with my kid. Best part of my life.
People say I have no drive, because after going to uni and getting a degree I still have yet to do anything with it. People don't seem to understand when I explain to them I am happy and content working in retail, a lot of people seem to hate retail but I find the experience very rewarding. So long as I am able to earn enough to live comfortably and within my means (which I am able to) I have no interest in 'climbing the corporate ladder'. I don't want a stressful job that earns lots of money, I only need a job that earns what I need to keep me fulfilled, which isn't a lot XD.
Yes! I needed this video. I went to school, like I was told, I became an accountant, because I was told office jobs are “better”. They’re not. I HATE working in an office. I felt like I was in a prison the whole time. I hated going to work. I felt like it was a waste of my time. I’m now a flight attendant, and I’m happier. There are times I wish I made more money, but being able to say when I work, when I don’t, and being able to wake up in a different place every day? Omg priceless. Desk work is not for me.
omg same!! I'm also a flight attendant and sometimes I feel like I'm expected to keep moving up the career ladder, but I'm so happy and fulfilled with this job I don't feel the need to. Money isn't everything, and having a job you love is priceless :)
@@11YoPEEPS 💯 money really isn’t everything.
I hate offices too, and now i studying administration, i think i can see more videos like this
@@ntmn8444 totally, Not for the joy of the soul
My grandmother always complained I should dress as a lady and wear juwelry so I can work in her shop selling women's accessories. Glad i never listened or I would be fed up with a minimum wage and a chronic depression. Now I build aircraft parts and have the chance to expand my technical knowledge through courses paid by the company where I work. Always listen to yourself and do NEVER please other people. It's YOUR life and not someone else's. No one needs to decide how you need to live your life and especially not to favor them!
We’ve been told, for so many years, that multi-tasking is a good thing…it’s a lie…it’s not good for the brain… it’s okay to just enjoy one thing at a time… Thanks for the video. 😊
yes, and reading slowly is also a good thing! in school, i liked to read slowly so i could picture what i was reading, or take my time to consider what the writer was trying to tell me. my teacher would tell me to read faster, and some of the kids would giggle and call me "stupid," and it was very annoying and demoralizing. it made me hate reading, but luckily, i've recently discovered the joy of reading again.
Exactly. It’s bad for spleen too in Chinese Medicine
Reminds me of going to grade school and then graduating with this notion that I have to strive for a career or to invent something-- but you know, feeling like I have to become a neuroscientist just puts undo stress on myself. Redefining what success is for me has helped me aim more true-- just get a job I can tolerate, save money, collect comics and enjoy nature. What else do I need to do?
Redefining success is so key to a fulfilling life as it means very different things to all of us 😊 Hope everything is well now!
the annoying part is that if you do actually become a big shot, many people close to you who are living simply start begging you for money. i'm good with my simple, boring life.
When I was in high school, I was undecided as to what I wanted to major in college, let alone what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. It was during the recession and my parents, teachers, and school counselors all encouraged me to go to college. They said I would figure it out after I was there . Well, I went along and decided to declare a major in the STEM field, a path that would certainly yield much success and a high paying job. The problem was, I was not passionate about the major at all. I despised competing with other students for grades and internships. I despised preparing for a career that went against my values. My job prospects after college would be limited to working for one of the most environmentally harmful companies on the planet. Yet I continued to plug along until I had a complete breakdown my junior year. I ended up in the hospital for exhaustion. I took a year off to rest my body and to clear my head. It was during that gap year that I realized that I truly yearned for a simple life. No rat race, no chasing status or money, I wanted time to spend with my friends and family, time to look up at the stars at night. I wanted to do some good in this world. That to me is the true meaning of life. I now work for a non-profit that aligns with my values and I am as happy as I have been in a long time. I am making way less than I would have, in the STEM field. However, my conscience is clear and my heart is full, which is worth more than all the money in the world :).
I have been struggling with back pain for over 3 years, I have done every treatment apart from surgery and injections to help it and it didn't work. I finally accepted that I might have this pain my whole life, then just a few weeks ago I woke up one day and the pain was just gone. I feel so much more alive and clear headed now, and most of all grateful. It was such a strong memento mori, I feel so appreciative of life now and realise all the illusions we're told. If you have good health, good relationships and a good home with a lil extra money leftover for fun things, you truly have everything. It does not get better than that ever. Anything more has very diminishing returns. I fell like I have finally arrived in life
uh.... what?????? How the hell did that happen
@@simonrockstream water will flow the path with least resistance. Clearing the mind of worry and allowing acceptance will make the mind adapt and focus on higher priority things elsewhere. It’s not to ignore the pain, but to make it a part of your reality.
I’ve had a high paying job but didn’t love it. I had enough to try to buy some fun in my down time but I wasn’t really ever happy. Since then I got rid of a lot of things I own, only work where I feel like, and just keep some money saved up because I cut expenses. Keeping it light makes it harder to have your back pressed to the wall by the world. If you measured me by my assets I guess you could call me a loser but I don’t feel like a sell out anymore.
Thanks for sharing your story!! 😇😇
Me too! I am a licensed Physical Therapist but haven’t worked in that field in years. I started a small, legal manufacturing company and work from home now. I sold everything I had. My big house, my motorcycle, my fancy car, my giant TV etc etc and bought three acres in the middle of nowhere. I’m a single female that lives off grid in a small tiny home fifteen miles from a tiny town. I completely understand living very cheaply so that the evil system can not hold you by the throat. It’s pure freedom. Thanks for sharing your story also. Good luck to you sir.

And you play Skyrim judging by your name right? You’re definitely living my dream! Hope I get to the same place in life that you found 😊
@@MADanimeGURL3 you are the first person to notice the name. Skyrim is my version of heaven. I also paint and have done entire Skyrim scenes on huge canvas❤️🥹.
@BentoBuff I’m so proud of us!
I certainly appreciate how cozy your home looks behind you. The warm color of the walls, the green plants and the twinkle lights make your space very calming and peaceful looking.
Thank you! It's the perfect hygge home for the dark Finnish winter 😍
@@SunnyKindJourney Works in Florida too.
To anyone who hasn’t seen it, I highly recommend watching the Pixar movie Soul. Its message is very similar to this video and it helped me a lot to realize my purpose isn’t connected to how much work I do
Just ordinary living
Oh I adore that movie!!
Thank you, will watch it tomorrow, first day of 2023! Happy New Year!
I will watch it today, on new year’s eve~
Couldn't get into that movie, first Pixar movie I just couldnt
Love this! I’ve always lived this way, I just dislike hearing people “trying to help me” when i’m super happy with my life. So frustrating that others do not get that.
I relate to this a lot with my brother.. he is a private driver, self-employed so works when he wants, earns £40,000+ a year and is happy has a nice home and car, etc but family and friends still say things like "do you just want to be a driver for the rest of your life?" and I know it is not just money but I know he enjoys his life, has lots of vacations and does well. It is frustrating when people butt in and kinda look down on you, even if it is with good intention.
@@SeanJamieson-bj1oh I'm in almost the same situation. My brother works at a factory and quite likes it but our family members always look down on him because of his job and his "lack of ambition"..
each one of us is the commander of his own ship through (hopefully) eternity. What works for someone may (surely) does not work for someone else. I remember myself in my 20s with a lot of friends after a dinner, they were talking, talking, talking about what they did, their problems at work, of a certain friend, about what their children were doing at school, about a restaurant they went last weekend... And really what i wanted to do was to be at home reading a book with my cats. One of the most wonderful experience in life is to follow your true desires even if they dont match the expectations of others. Never heard of a person who had an NDE returning with the need to have more success or fame or money or things.
Your friends-at-dinner memory resonates with me, Francesco. I have experienced the exact same thing many times. At 47, I am happy to say "No, thank you" to many such occasions, or at least to leave early ;-) Best wishes from Belgium.
Living in Canada, I don’t have a high paying job and many others factors that don’t fit into “the norm”. Most people here want a house, a fancy job and kids and that’s the marker of success. I’m learning to love a simple life more and more. Also to not take in every person’s opinion as being something I need to follow.
In my spare time I love just doing what I feel like doing and I have no guilt. There's too much focus online on people being successful, rich, motivated - that life isn't for everyone! Nor should we all feel pushed into that, or like our lives are lesser than because we're not rich or successful (which is a guage determined differently by every individual). I think life's rich when you're spending time with people, learning new things, or just solo chilling out, experiencing the outdoors and just doing what comes natural.
I have an addictive mind as well, and a high drive for aggression. But meditation, martial arts & a simple life really balance me out.
I would say the one thing you should push yourself on is companionship, everything else you can chill on, but like you said, people in the last weeks of their lives always wish they spent more quality time with people they enjoy, this is almost universal, try to make sure you are spending at least one day a week with someone you enjoy, even if the time spent wasn't productive, whether that is a friend or you find a compatible partner for a relationship, try to have a few people in your life you wanna spend time with and that wanna spend time with you.
In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.”
I absolutely love channels like yours. Promoting simple living and realising that its ok to be content with what you already have.
I personally really struggle with being content and getting away from wanting to find the next addiction. Like new items to buy or trying that new experience.
It's ok to just be and have enjoyment in regular things.
Agree to this! And yeah, it's something I still struggle with too, as I think most of us do. Will make soon a video about ways I'm trying to deal with this feeling of dissatisfaction 👍🏼
Same here Kayla. It's good to realize this and improve ourselves. I appreciate this channel as well. Have a great day!
I think meditation is an excellent way to overcome a need for me and be content.
Perhaps you can confuse the human need for novelty with addiction. The wisdom is to realize that we can create novelty from things that are monetarily free and don't require consumerism. The wisdom is also realizing that experiential experiences create a healthier mind long-term than material possessions. Creating experiential experiences with our loved ones creates a far healthier and happier human Than someone benchmarking success with materialism and financial status
I think it’s ok to be in between the two. We live in a material world and it’s ok to enjoy material things to an extent. For me it’s about being conscious about how certain things make me feel.
I'm glad the RUclips algorithm suggested this video to me. I've been trying to connect to myself recently after 10 or so years of running away from myself and my life. I am getting ready to go through to my things and get rid of those I "just own" senselessly. Being surrounded by crowded shelves and tables overwhelms me. And I'm just so tired of buying things. And most importantly, I want to clear my mind space too. Be gentler with myself and be aware of the present moment as much as possible. I wish you a happy start to a new year :)
Sending you love and strength! Happy new year to you too 😊
Cheers. Thanks for sharing.
I am 55 now and about 25 year ago i decided to live the simple life. No regrets. :-)
My best life decision was to learn physical skills I can use anywhere in the World.
Things like Building, Repairing, Nursing/EMT. All of these things can help yourself and others.
Smart
This video is so timely for me! I have been so depressed because I've gained weight amd I am older now. I have little personal sucess. Yet here we are. Defining my personal compass will help my mind a lot!
Surviving this matrix, to me, is a huge personal success 😊
One way that helped me be kinder to myself in terms of changing negative thought patterns is by understanding that the brain is also a muscle, and like any other muscle it requires training.
So true! 😊
The brain is not actually a muscle but I can definitely agree on the training part.
It also requires rest! A very important part :)
This isn't a criticism, more of an observation, or an assumption on my part. You have a problem that is common to most young people: you overthink and over complicate things. I did it myself.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm impressed that someone so young has come to realize what is important in life is not meeting the expectations others have of you.
Whilst I have never worried about how other people see me, I have always had a very strong work ethic. I broke my back when I was 26, I didn't worry about my long term health or how it would affect my life, I worried about how it would affect my work.
I was lucky, I was able to retire 5 years ago, I was approaching my mid 50s at the time. The hardest thing I had to learn was to change my view of achievement. I now consider very simple things as an achievement, watering the garden, sweeping up the leaves, discovering a new restaurant or coffee shop, writing a letter to a friend, reading a book, cleaning the car, helping people with a work problem they have, or just relaxing listening to music.
I have been asked a few times since retiring if I would do work based projects, and whilst the money was tempting, my cost of living is very low, and I don't need more than I have. I value my peace of mind, my contentment, and the serenity not being obligated gives me, far more than some additional money in my bank.
A few friends have asked me "how can you go from always busy, to doing nothing?" My answer is to reply with a line from an old ACDC song: I know I ain't doing much, doing nothing means a lot to me.
Congratulations to you, you've learnt what many people don't learn until they're old, or never learn, being content with living a simple life is far more rewarding than money.
"ordinary life".... Am I having an ordinary life if I'm on the street? I need to do more to claw myself up. I have no home, i don't have the freedom to just get a new home. In the end this feels like a video specifically for people who are already successful and have a lot of freedom that comes with abundance.
I'm not on the street anymore, thankfully i was able to move back into my parent's house and continue to work. I wish I had the choice accessible to make things simpler.
That's just me and an increasing number of impoverished people. I envy y'all, truly, no hard feelings.
Seems like a key to living simply is to just live your life without comparison to others on social media. Your family, friends, and community might be supportive or not supportive. That seems manageable. Online toxic comparison could be completely out of our lives by deleting the accounts. That’s probably very tough to do if you’re an influencer, though.
That's definitely one of the key things to live a fulfilling life these days yes! To create that self-confidence from within, and not seek validation always from outside 🙌
Thank you for this important reminder that our self-worth is not tied to any outer measures of success, wealth, fame, status, etc. Every human being is invaluable simply by being human. Some people are very comfortable being driven to work, succeed, increase their wealth, status, fame, etc., but others are more comfortable being creative, or even contemplative about ideas such as the nature of the universe, the meaning of life, and one's individual 'place' in the grand scheme of things. We're all necessary to a healthy society.
A wise man told me that the best way to win in life is to do nothing that would cause a loss. To find balance through simplicity. I think this also speaks to what Zarathustra tried to tell humanity thousands of years ago: "when in doubt, abstain."
wow, what a beautiful sentiment. This video seemed to find me at just the right time. I've been having a difficult morning-feeling totally lost and unsure of where i'm going in life, and overwhelmed by all the pressures of what our lives are supposedly meant to look like-and this video appeared my suggestions.
I'm about to turn 24, and i feel like everything i've ever done or wanted has been for external validation. I'm trying now to untangle my true desires from those conditioned, external pressures, but i feel like i don't even know how to want something for myself.
You have such a peaceful sense of self-assuredness, a wholeness within yourself, it gives me hope that i can find that within myself one day. thank you 💗
This feels heaven sent. I have been following & applying minimalism & a simpler living for years. At the same time this message felt like such a beautiful & needed reminder. As my wellness offerings grow & with new year visions & dreams sprouting I saw this at such a great moment. I wish you all a peaceful & beautiful rest of the holidays. 🍎🍎🍎
A successful life is the life that makes you happy. I have never been one to chase the dollar, or the promotion, or a fancier car. I am content in being the assistant, having enough money to pay my bills and a little extra and my older car. I don't care what others think I OUGHT to do or be doing. I'm not here to stress out by trying to 'keep up' with everyone else. 🙂
Priceless, "Don't focus on the fall but on getting up", glad I watched to the end. Thank you Seve.
I just discovered your channel, it's wonderful. You have already acquired a lot of wisdom for your young age. I'm in my mid 40ies now, although I've lived a frugal life for many years in the past, I still made wrong decisions in terms of career, ie, accepting jobs that were way too stressful. My current job is like this too, I've been doing that for the last 5 years and meanwhile I'm so exhausted that my body forces me to dowshift. Which means either quit or at least reduce my hours to a part-time position. Looking back, I'm a bit mad about myself as I wasted so many years of my life with stress, also destroying my relationships because of that. It's time again to return to a healthier way of living.
Better late than never! Hope the change goes well, Christoph 😊 And yes, I am very grateful to have learned these life lessons so early on 🙌🏼
I also would like to find a way to work part time. Having a stressful job really takes over your life!
@@ms1295 It does, especially when doing it over many years. A downshift can be healing.
@@christophdenner8878 how did you make it work financially? I don’t need luxuries, but I currently live in a pretty expensive area on the US
@@christophdenner8878 To clarify, I am not that concerned about not having enough for right now, but am very worried about not saving enough for retirement
I’ve noticed this when I had social media like Facebook. It was exhausting to watch people post event after event after event. I love vacation but I see people go overboard with trips as well. One big trip every 7-8 years is fun for me but I see people taking their next vacation before they even have time to unpack from the last one. I just want a quiet routine life. I’m totally entertained cooking at home, laying in bed, cuddling my cat, and watching RUclips videos on my free time. At this point I don’t even feel guilty about living a quiet uneventful life.
I love that too but feeling too guilty about it 😂
@@roksanapazdziora5395 I used to feel guilty about it too and try to act more like a normal person. I just don’t care about fitting in anymore though.
Love this! Live life on your own terms, not others expectations. Our time here is short, might as well enjoy it to the fullest :)
The algorithm put this video on my home page and I’m so, so grateful! I’m struggling with feeling “enough“ again in the past months. Your words are a balm for my soul, thank you!
You got this Jay 😇
Wow, sometimes I stumble upon some advice or a video like this that speaks directly to some of the complex anxiety I'm feeling. So thankful for your kindhearted video! 🙂
Thank you for the video. I want to be a stay at home mom one day and boy people don't like hearing that. It makes me feel better to hear that it's ok to live a simple life and be a mom.
A lot of older people don't know this; it's great that you have discovered this while young.
That's great to know 🙌 Sometimes I don't realize how great things I have already learned but luckily people like you are there to remind me :)
What an incredibly simple yet nuanced video and explanation you will help a lot of people with this!
You are very kind and thoughtful! Thanks for sharing all this insight, you're absolutely right, our worth is not defined by productivity, money or possessions.
It's so good to be reminded of that, especially since the world around us is always trying to convince us otherwise!
I also really like that you remind us to follow our own inner voice and our values and not those of others!
Great video! 💗
Thank you 😊😊
Such a beautiful message 😊 So many of us spend so much time chasing things that may never come. So much so we forget how important the moment and connections are. Keep doing the great work you doing. Much appreciated ✌️+❤️
Everything you talk about hits home with me and I am finding we are very similar thinking individuals. So happy I stumbled across your channel🥰 I feel so many others can benefit from your videos. Looking forward to more of your content🤗 Thank you for this, came at the right time🙏☺️
Ooh thank you so much for your kind words, Kelli! 🤗 I'm so happy to hear the things I talk about have resonated with you. Wishing you the best! 🌱
Thank you for your videos. You are so wise for your age and certainly making an impact on other people's lives. I have an addicted mind too and need to control myself all the time. Cheers from Sydney!
I'm glad i found your channel i love how simple your videos are but they are also very comforting for such an anxious person like me, thank you
Glad you like them! 😊 Thank you for the comment
Thank u for making these videos about simple life and minimalism. Makes me feel I'm not alone and that it's okay to want a different life than what most people want. And that there's nothing wrong with living a simple life.
Thank you for your comment! Makes me feel the same reading this 😇 Sometimes it's a bit lonely when people don't get you
Great video. This is the first of yours that I've seen. I really love your world view! One point: You talk about your own negative thinking... What I have discovered is that if you're truly confident about your choices in life it doesn't matter what other people say. It's when their remarks resonate with what you already sort of think that you can be pulled down. ☺
"Thanks" just doesn't cover it for me, the way I'm feeling this morning. We are blessed to have a soul like you around xx
Thank you I am always beating myself that I should be doing more. I just want a simple life. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm 24 and have been struggling a lot with what I want out of life for the past years. I constantly feel like I need to do more.
I only discovered your channel yesterday, but your videos make me feel like it's okay and I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Thank you.
Awesome! We are around the same age too 🙌🏼 It's so normal to feel that we would be behind in life as the world moves so fast but take your time to figure out what you really value in life and life starts to unfold in a completely new way. Hope you'll find my other videos useful too! 🙌🏼
Thank you so much Seve for making this video. It was just the reminder I needed to stay on my path of a calmer, gentler and simpler life.
When I started my journey about a year ago to conciuously change my life to match my values, I truly started feeling more whole than I ever had been. There was this ease in just being and even social situations, which have been always a struggle, came naturally. I guess when you embrace and accept yourself the opinions of others don't anymore shake your core.
However I lost that space of wholeness after a couple of months, and after that seems like I got sucked into a black hole again. Sometimes it feels like the Finnish society (and the social bubble) I live in is so centered on chasing an acceptable status.
I hope I have now realized for the final time, that my happiness won't come from grinding a diffucult education I do not like just to get a "valued" title and money to spend. Those things cannot replace meaningful connections.
I wish the best of luck to anyone else who is struggling with being theirself and living a life they actually want to be part a part of. May the New Year 23 be better for everyone and bring peace and clarity to everyone ❤
At now 31 yrs old, I'm ready to relax and slow down in life. I'm sick of driving my self up a wall in life. Time to cruise and chill.
I grew up in a small town and could not wait to get to the big city and its opportunities, but now as an older man I realize that the life I and my parents had in the small town was a pretty damn good one. Not trying to fight a rat race, living where expense and crime were very low and where everyone knows their neighbors. Now at retirement I look forward to moving back to a small town. Life is meant to be enjoyed not to live up to the expectations of others.
Hope it's not too late for you to move back ❤️
I am new to this channel, but love the wisdom. I agree with everything in this video, especially the last one, the need to feel productive. For years I have felt like I had to be doing something to improve myself in my down time, and to not "waste" my time. Therefore, anytime I was just relaxing, I would feel a little guilt. It is so good to recognize this and to give yourself the ok to relax and just BE. We need to unwind at times and let our mind rest, it is ok and you do not have to prove anything to anyone. Just be kind to yourself, just as you would be to others.
Love this comment, Tina ❤️ Sending you love!
Finding this type of content, from a real perspective, it’s so good nowadays
You are a very wise and gifted young man! It's so encouraging to see your videos.
Thank you so much! ❤❤
Beautiful video man , you put in words what a lot of people cannot express but somehow they know , including myself.Merry Christmas from Spain!!
Pedro Pascals long lost brother.. On a serious note. The was well thought out. Thanks
I needed to hear this today! Thank you!
I subscribed. Happy is great and sad is great. That's life, right? There's also satisfied. I like satisfied most because it means there could be more but I don't necessarily need or even want it. Taking control of one's desires and recognizing them as often feckless and pointless is a great lesson. It's also well to point out the finite nature of our lives and the oldest saying there is: ya can't take it with ya.
A good presentation.
Lovely video. I feel as you do. Your visual shots were also so peaceful, it was a nice respite for me.
Thanks for sharing!
Work at being present. That is the best you can do for the world. It is so hard! Good luck w your journey and remember, you are a pioneer at finding our way back to sanity. Get support from those who have been before you.
Thank you! ❤
Thank you. You have a good point 👍. Sometimes I just have to simplify to calm down and be able to do things. I'm not perfect and never will be. 🙂
Great thoughts Misa 🤗
Wise words Seve, thank you.
Thanks for this post. You seem to have found a footing for yourself that gives you the support you need to find new things and be creative. I've learned, after my many years, that I can completely define my parameters (well, outside of my work, which is freelance) to give myself a comfortable place to be creative--ie, lots of time alone. Also, your fourth point is good to keep in mind. Often, other people can give very useful ideas and opinions but it is important to recognize when their opinions are really just communicated to buttress their own life style.
I really like that, "...their opinions are really just communicated to buttress their own lifestyle."
Isn't the buttressing just the same for him? He says himself in the beginning that this is advice that has helped him with combating the expectations of others. My point is that this wisdom should be applied outward and inward.
In my opinion (ha) opinions must be held onto, otherwise they work against you more often than not.
Yes! Thank you so much. This was delightful.
Amen! The best moments are the mindless unproductive ones. Great video
Yes! Thank you! 🤗
Sage level wisdom on display here.
You are wise for one so young. Good for you!
Beautiful thing to find on New Year's Eve, thanks for that :)
This is so validating.
This is excellent, thank you. 💛
Your apartment is so cosy and full of plants. It is just a plesure to watch it.
I just stumbled on your video and when I saw you pouring coffee to a muumi mug, I new you were Finnish! Cheers from a fellow Finn 😀
Wise words Seve. 🌸

I also have the same drying rack (IKEA?) and like to watch RUclips while hanging my laundry 😊 but *making* a video at the same time, is whole another level!!!
Yes, I think it's originally from IKEA 😄 Yeah it's so grounding activity that's it's easy to get my thoughts out so I wanted to try filming at the same time 😊
Lovely video, thanks for sharing your life views! I got a lot out of it! Happy new years!
thanks for sharing this, I'm trying to embrace slow living and your channel has been really helpful and valuable! Keep going :)
Thank you so much, Laura! 😊
I love this video and immediately subscribed! I live very simply but you’ve given me so much to think about in this video. I’m going to make notes:) Thanks so much! Love from Atlanta 💕
So nice to hear! 😊 And love your channel name!
I am happy to have found this channel. ♥️
Thank you so much x💗🙏🌌💫great content !! 👏
thank you ❤
I want to be a carpenter and have a somewhat normal peaceful life and have a positive influence on others.
Trying to reach for these goals in my life, of constantly having to look over my shoulder because someone is constantly trying to steal from me or manipulate me more, seems like a constant battle I try to win but idk. There is an obstacle at every turn...
How is it that so much wisdom comes from one so young? ❤
Thank you 😊
Really good content! There's a lot of value in what you do. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! 🙌
Don’t focus on the fall, focus on getting up. What great advice. And find the tribe that will help you do this.
Thank you.
Love your accent!
the TV part hit me the most
Thank you, Raymond 😊
I really needed to find this video as well. I live in a household where I’m always pressured to make more money but my soul is always begging for me to slow down. I look forward to having more financial freedom as debt keeps pressing me and making it difficult to relax. But I’m doing what I can to minimize my consumption of all other worldly things, as I tend toward an addictive personality myself. It’s definitely a process I feel that I am beginning again after a long time of abandoning myself. Health and healing to you all ❤️
Exactly, it's all about the balance 🌱 Hope everything works well for you in the end!
living it, yes, and stay kind
Really cool video. I needed this 😊 Thank you
Awesome to hear you liked it!
U words are very clear plus English subtitles are very useful so that people from all countries will understand.thanku very much
Thank you 😊😊
This video popped out in the exact right moment. I come from 10 years of Therapie after, what startet as a Burn out from overworking which then channeld in an Borderline Disorder and other Stuff i stuffled trough my life from abuse and things. And i'm at a point, where i'm thinking what now. I personally just want a little Parttime Job to build up my confidence again and then decide if i go fulltime again or not.
But i come from an enviroment where Work is a big thema. I had to go trough so many comments from my family when i was in Therapy and stopped working. I stepped away from the, but there are so deeply rooted in me, that i often catch me thinking i'm such a worthless individuum ...
And now i have Friends who are also super absorbed in their Work in a Way, that they absolute ignore their mental health and friends and family. My BF finaly has made it to the step that she said "When i can't overcome it this winter, i will go to therapy", i don't know if she really will do this, but it's a first step. But i as a Person took so much from these People. I always said to me, someday i will again be there where they are(success and money-wise) they where a motivation and such good friends. But now ... i don't know. I mean, their are still good friends but i don't really know if i want to become successfull and have a lot of money again.
I love art, i love nature, i love my cats. And i would need to put this aside when i want the stuff that they have.
I'm not really happy at the moment, because with inflation und stuff money is again a really hard thema. But i don't need much. So i really thought so long about it. I really just want this part time job at the moment. But it's so hard to let this intrusive thought's go and stop thinking when i do than i get a step further to doing this even thought i actually don't want to do this xD.
So, thank you for this video. This helped me get my thought's clear and see, that i should sort out which are MY dreams and which are Dreams i have because of others. Not that this will make my future easyer at the moment, but it makes it easyer to take this future in my own hands :).
Great vid man , thanks you
Need to trust yourself, listen to yourself' is very important.
"simple living" or even contemplating it is a luxury afforded to you by your first world setting!
